MAINTENANCE
Periodic Maintenance Chart
Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in safe,
reliable condition. Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as
necessary. When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, use
genuine POLARIS parts available from your POLARIS dealer. Record
maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log beginning on page
158.
Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If
you're not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, have a
qualified dealer perform these operations.
Maintenance intervals in the following chart are based upon average
riding conditions and an average vehicle speed of approximately 10
miles per hour. Vehicles subjected to severe use must be inspected and
serviced more frequently.
Severe Use Definition
• Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand
• Racing or race-style high RPM use
• Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation
• Extended idle
• Short trip cold weather operation
Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold
weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or
crankcase. Change oil immediately if the oil level begins to rise.
Monitor the oil level, and if it continues to rise, discontinue use and
determine the cause or see your dealer.
